thinking of buying one, but my friend has a 2010 super pista and his has toe overlap...with the straight fork does your 2012 have toe overlap? lmk

Uhm. It does... Slightly. But it's almost unnoticed . Rarely will my toe rub but if it does it doesn't effect much at all.

Need new crankset to go with my zen chainring.
The options are ;
Sugino 75
SRAM Ominium
Dura- Ace FC7600
If anyone has any feedback and real life experience with any of these please reply below . It is greatly appreciated.

Keep all your components black dude. It looks so sexy and clean. It really brings out the color of the frame too. Just my opinion!

Well only think I might change is the chainring ... The zen chainring I am looking at is silver but would be on a black ominium crankset.

Pretty solid buildup you got there. As for crank recommendations go, I'd recommend Dura- Ace FC7600's with a Hatta Swan R9400 BB, ran them for quite some time.
But to each his own, just my two cents.

If you want an idea how those cranks will look like with a zen, feel free to check out my makino.

Yea, can't go wrong w dura ace.
I can't decide between sugino 75's, ominiums or dura - ace FC7600's.

Slap Deda logo Celeste Blue tape on here!

Don't ya think the blue would be a lil bizarre to have bright blue when nothing else is?
:D

I'd upgrade cranks first for sure. If you're simply looking for a trispoke I'd suggest even getting the non branded wheels from china. You can buy them brand new and almost half the price of a used HED 3
Posted about 9 years ago
Just type carbon trispoke in the ebay search engine. They're everywhere. I plan on getting one. I actually just bought a set of 88mm carbon clinchers for my next bike and wanted a front clincher trispoke but didn't want to pay $500 or more on a used wheel
Posted about 9 years ago
I was looking at CarbonZone wheels. They have some and I've heard nothing but great/good things about em on forums.
The front clincher is about 200$. I'm looking for carbon wall/bladed spokes too

I doubt that a Zen chainring will fit your messanger cranks..
Nice bike though
Posted about 9 years ago
Yea, your rights the messenger is 130 BCD and all track chain rings are 144BCD Meaning messenger crank arms are too small.
I am looking at getting a Sugino 75 crank or FSA with Zen CR.

I'm so glad you know not to get an aerojoke! Lmao um, I guess HED3 is the best choice, personally I'd de-sticker it but it's your choice. Or you could get a notorious BLB. I would advise maybe looking through eBay or local Craigslist's if you're looking for cheaper.

get a pair of Ellipse
i just love to see Ellipse in pairs instead of in the rear/front only
Posted about 9 years ago
I just like the look of a different clincher in the front.
Thanks for the input .
